Mission Statement:
The Student Support Department (SSD) emphasizes the unique worth and dignity of the student. Being supportive, preventative and corrective in nature, the SSD provides students the opportunity to develop to their full potential educationally, personally, and socially, and to ultimately accept the responsibility for their decisions. The SSD embraces a collaborative approach and serves as a team consisting of teachers, counselors, administrators, parents, students and outside partnerships. This program is directed toward an atmosphere conducive to student personal growth, self-awareness, learning, success and respect for the worth of self and others.
